Petroglyphs

Searching for ancient petroglyphs

Just north of the bridge you crossed before arriving at Yuquiyú, you can see petroglyphs on the living rock in the middle of the river. Known as “La Cara de Indio,” which means “The Indian Face,” these mysterious artifacts were carved into the granite by the Taino natives during pre-Columbian times. After a refreshing swim in the Río Espíritu Santo (Holy Spirit River), return to Yuquiyú.
